| - Because this is my best friend's Linda's favorite restaurant, I end up eating here a couple of times a year. She goes with other people, too. On July 7th, we went for her birthday. Soup and salad are included with meals. One mouthful of cream of vegetable was all she wanted. She complained to the waiter that it tasted canned. He replied that it was made fresh as he removed the bowl. In waiter's point of view that reply solved our complaint. The salad was iceberg lettuce, red onions, and tomato with house dressing. Boring.
I ordered Veal Christo's from the regular menu. I received a large piece of chewy meat in lemon sauce with tiny, bay shrimp, bits of artichoke, and either crab or Krab, not sure which since it was minced. I was not thrilled.
Linda loved her special, Duck a la Orange. She gave me a bite and it was wonderful. She is a very lite eater and took half of it home. The caramelized carrots and steamed broccoli sides were okay. As the waiter was taking her plate to box up the duck, he announced that he would be bringing the surprise birthday cake I had preordered. Kind of spoiled the surprise.
